Gerald Wallace decided it was time to go home and focus on parenting.
He spent 14 years in the NBA, moving from Sacramento to Charlotte to Brooklyn to Boston. Along the way, he became the last player with “Charlotte” on his jersey to be selected for an All-Star Game. He went from an expansion draft to one of the best defensive players in the league.
Now he lives in Childersburg, Ala., and his typical day is watching his daughter, a sixth-grader, play middle-school basketball. He’s content and happy doing that.
